Silex is better , i hate all these static classes everywhere. That's the only reason i'm not using Laravel "Core" . Eloquent is nice though.

- diggan 13y agoHmm, every new framework nowadays seems to be based on Symfony2 which appears to be kind of slow. Is there any small (relatively new) PHP framework that isn't based on Symfony2?
- krapp 13y agoprobably not what you're looking for but maybe slim framework? http://www.slimframework.com/ http://www.slimframework.com/

- sbarre 13y agoSilex and Laravel don't really serve the same purpose. I think both have merits, and it's hard to say a micro-framework like Silex is "better" than a full-featured framework like Laravel, unless you're applying a specific context..
- jonob7 13y agoNo static classes, they are facades.
- dave1010uk 13y agoI have mixed feelings about Laravel's use of the facade pattern. On one hand it brings a really simple API, which is great for new users and rapid development. On the other hand, it's hiding away dependencies and making testing slightly more complex. It's seems a bit like hiding behind multiple global service locators.
